Airpoint is a touchless cursor control tool that enables users to operate their computer using hand gestures detected by a standard webcam. Designed to eliminate the need for traditional input hardware, it translates natural hand movements into precise on-screen cursor actions, including clicking, right-clicking, scrolling, zooming, and dragging. The system uses real-time AI-powered gesture recognition, mapping 3D hand coordinates to cursor movements and distinguishing intentional gestures from accidental ones. All processing is performed locally on the user's device, ensuring that no video data leaves the computer, with a particular emphasis on privacy.
The platform leverages custom-trained neural networks for gesture recognition and click detection, reportedly achieving high accuracy and responsiveness. It adapts to different hand sizes and styles by analyzing finger angles, velocities, and distances, and is built to provide smooth, trackpad-like functionality without a learning curve. Airpoint also supports triggering custom macros and system shortcuts through gestures, extending its utility beyond standard cursor control.
0 or later), with a universal binary supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. A Windows version is indicated as forthcoming. Users can download the application for free, and there is also a browser-based demo available for trying out the technology without installation. For developers, Airpoint provides an open-source SDK, accessible via GitHub and as an npm package, allowing integration of touchless control into web applications.
Developed by MedHue, Airpoint positions itself within the class of touchless input and gesture control tools, offering a solution for users seeking hands-free computer interaction using only a webcam and their hands.
Airpoint sits in PulseGate's Other productivity category. It focuses on controlling a computer cursor without physical contact, using only hand gestures and a webcam. Airpoint is a consumer product aimed at desktop users seeking touchless control. Airpoint follows a freemium model. It runs on the web, Windows, and macOS.
Airpoint first shipped in 2026. The project is developed in the open on GitHub with 12 commits in the last 90 days. Across PulseGate's embedding index, Airpoint has few near neighbours, marking it as relatively distinct.
